Razor

From 1992 to 1994, London Night Studios launched Razor, a 14-issue series that helped define the dark, gritty ethos of the early-'90s independent comics boom. Created primarily by writer/artist Everette Hartsoe, with key contributions from Kevin Hill, Rebecca O'Connor, Daniel Presedo, and Jude Millien, the book follows the brooding vigilante Razor and his frequent encounters with the villainous Stryke. A touchstone of the era's "bad girl" and antihero trends, the series stands out for its moody, noir-tinged aesthetic and the raw energy of its small-press origins.
